Felix loves to pal around with Ozzie and Harvey. He is usually the first one to fly out of the cage and he’s very good at getting out undetected (he’s a regular little Houdini). I still never know whether I will get a kiss or nip from him at bedtime. But there are more kisses than nips.
Here is Felix, aka: Mr. Gorgeous, on one of his favorite perches – the top of the green mirror. He also loves to chat to the mirror. But who wouldn’t want to talk to such fine looking fellow?
Sunny is the “sweet one”. She never nips and is very gentle. Unless you’re a female budgie. Sunny is no pushover. Sunny absolutely loves taking a bath. I think she was a merbird in another life.
Sunny has made a couple visits to the vet recently because she’s been having problems flying. Our vet thinks she may have pulled a muscle. So she’s been grounded (stuck in the cage) and has been taking pain meds. She seems perfectly healthy and happy otherwise. But it would be nice to see her fly around again.
Sunny is a darling little girl who lives up to her name by brightening up our lives.
Sido is a little scritch monster. She loves getting head scritches. She also loves strawberries. Especially picking out the seeds. Spritzing and baths are fun, and help to keep the Sido snow at bay.
My pants after a grooming session. How can one little bird leave such a mess?
Seven years ago, today, we brought home a little blue bundle of feathers. The Booper has filled each one of those days with joy. We love you Cooper!
Clear the Shelters, a nationwide pet adoption event, takes place today.
Both Alfie and Ozzie were adopted from the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services.
Sido was adopted from the Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary.
If you’re thinking of adding a pet to your family, please consider adoption. There are many pets in the shelters and rescues who need loving homes.
You can read more about Clear the Shelters here.
Clear the Shelters Day is tomorrow. Our local news has been promoting the event by sharing photos of viewers’ pets. Of course, I had to send in a photo of Ozzie and Alfie.
Both Alfie and Ozzie were adopted from the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services.
And they made it on the news (video below)! How exciting! If you are thinking about adding a bird to your family, please consider adopting.
Ozzie Bear would like to tell you a joke!
“How do you catch a unique budgie? Unique up on it!
How do you catch a tame budgie? Tame way. Unique up on it!”
“Wocka Wocka!”
Look who is 5(ish)!
Felix with his new toy.
And with the birthday millet. Yum!
Happy hatchday Felix – we love you!
Switched (Season 1 on Netflix)
Outcast student Zenko switches bodies with cute and popular Ayumi. No one believes Ayumi except her friend Kaga. Will Ayumi be able to get her perfect life back?
Who cares! It’s all about Amagase, the budgie. Amagase not only makes the credits, but appears in all 6 episodes of the show.
Amagase was formerly a man who switched bodies with his parakeet after losing all his money/family.
Amagase makes an appearance when various characters switch bodies.
Amagase is clearly the star of the series.
Hopefully we will see more of Amagasi if Switched is granted a second season.
Cooper was trying to take a bath in her water cup while I was cleaning the cages, so I set a little dish of water out for her. She didn’t quite make it all the way in, but seemed to enjoy her “bath”.
